Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 53's
Despite continuing her work without lifting her face at all, Lorie could feel the man in front of her constantly staring at her, even as if she could see that the man was smacking a smile and paying careful attention to all his movements.
Lorie became unfocused and a little agitated. The writing on the sheet of paper is suddenly blurry and difficult to read. He had to repeat spelling word by word several times and could understand what was described there. His signature was usually firm and steady, several times becoming slightly bumpy at the end of the line.
He finally couldn't take it anymore. Gritting his teeth and clasping the pen in his hand tightly, he looked up and asked, “Why are you still here, Mr Daniel?”
Daniel smiled wider. It was as if seeing Lorie getting upset was a pleasant thing for her. The man propped up his chin with his right hand resting on the table so that the distance was getting closer to Lorie.
“While waiting for you to work,” he replied casually. “Continue, don't mind me.”
Lorie really wanted to swing the pen in her hand and stab the man's arm. See if his behavior is still this thick. However, of course that desire only held him in his heart.
“Dear Mr. Daniel, you know there are many company secrets here. It's very unethical for you to watch me work. Please come out immediately before I call security,” said Lorie while holding back her emotions.
“Then I will close my eyes.” Daniel took a handkerchief from his suit pocket, folded it with a slanted diagonal line so that the cloth changed shape to a triangle, then tied it to the head. After he finished, the man leaned back on the chair and did not make any movements.
“How about like this?” she asked, still with a big smile on her annoying but handsome face.
Lorie did not know to be angry or cry. He squinted his temples and closed his eyes, inhaled and exhaled several times until his heartbeat did not spike due to unstable emotions.
“What exactly do you want, Mr Daniel?” asked Lorie after successfully restraining herself.
“Didn't I tell you before? I'd like to take you to lunch. Back then you said you'd have lunch with me next time.”
“It was just a pleasantries. You don't understand? I don't have time now either. Please exit.”
“I'll wait for you to finish.”
“Do you not have a job in the office?”
“Med time off. There are more important things I have to take care of here.”
“....”
Lorie was at a loss for words. He looked at the man who was leaning comfortably on the chair and did not know what else to say to kick him out.
Finally after weighing for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked, “Are you after lunch, you will not bother me again?”
“Ya!” daniel without thinking twice. Excitedly he opened the handkerchief that covered his eyes and looked at Lorie with a very alluring smile.
“Good. I hope you hold this greeting,” Lorie said as she tidied up the files and documents on the table.
“So you agreed to have lunch with me?”
“No. I'm very pushy,” Daniel replied in a very ignorant manner.
Lorie glanced at Daniel's face at a glance and found that the emerald green iris was shining like a dawn star. He hurriedly shifted his gaze and stood up from the chair.
He glanced at the clock on his wrist and said, “I only have an hour.”
“That's more than enough.” Daniel stood up and invited Lorie to walk first.
“What food do you like? Asia, Europe, Western, Middle East?” ask her as they walk side by side along the hallway to the elevator.
“Make me impressed,” challenge Lorie.
“Hm. That's pretty hard.”
Lorie simply raised her eyebrows and stood quietly as the elevator slid down. He guessed a little, with his haughty appearance but a little careless, maybe Daniel would take him to one of the fancy restaurants and order the whole place to impress him.
When he gets to the basement, Daniel directs Lorie to get into a sedan car that looks very ordinary. It may not cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The man did not even bring a private driver.
Lorie's assessment of Daniel changes drastically. He turned his head and was glued when he saw Daniel open his suit and attach it to the chair. That simple gesture somehow looked extremely charming. Without a covering suit, Daniel's chest looked completely sturdy and fielded. His shirt buttons were open so that Lorie could see a piece of dense chest muscle and clay.
As captain of the special forces, Lorie knew it was not easy to get such a body shape, required rigorous training and self-discipline for many years.
Suddenly, Daniel turned to Lorie and said, “Wear your seat belt.”
“Eh?”
Daniel smiled faintly looking at Lorie who lost focus. He reached out to the woman and put on his seatbelt.
“Already,” he said while facing the steering wheel and turning on the engine.
“Thank you.”
Daniel just kept smiling and drove the car out of the basement, while Lorie turned her head to the side to hide the crimson hue running down her cheeks.
Damnit. This man had a kind of eye-catching charm with his self-confidence exceeding the limit. The kind of man to shun, Lorie. Control yourself.
